So they are sending it to the collision center to have it "fished out". So the car gets to sit for another night at the dealer. Oh boy! Another monkey gets to drive my car.

I am in an Accord special edition rental. This is considered a Permium Luxury car by Enterprise. what a crock. Doesn't this fall with the Taurus? And it goes for $42/day!

What do they consider the Audi then?

Audi would fall under sub compact if an Accord is a Luxury/Full Size car

Default All VAG subframe bolts are "single use" and shouldn't be reused

probably why one sheared off. You'd think the dealer would know this stuff.........

Default OH man that sucks....

I had that happen once...it stripped the nut that was internal to the frame. Their fix was to cut a whole in the side of the body and replace it with regular nut and washer. Not a pretty situation. I was not thrilled to say the least
